Strongly disagreeing with another post: DON'T plan on head shots. That is an unreliable caliber on human skulls; there is over 100 years strong evidence of this. And the brain on a moving person is a small and evasive target to boot. Practice for multiple torso hits, preferably in the vicinity of the heart.
This is the problem witht the 22. I agree with the above and disagree with my own advice. Ask me again in 12 hours and I will have switched.
A 22 thru the eye socket is a great shot. It also my glance off the frontal bone of the skull if a forehead shot is attempted.
BUT.... a heavy jacket and hitting a rib in the chest without penetrating....you have just made your assailant mad. And a 22 caliber hole in the heart is not an instant stopping shot.
There is the problem with the 22....no good, more often than not, reliable shot to be attempted and practiced.
